Monthly payment
—
The Mortgage Calculator gives the monthly payment, the total interest over the life of the mortgage and the loan-to-value ratio, with property tax and insurance optionally added for the full monthly housing cost.
Enter the property price, your deposit, the interest rate and the term to get the monthly payment, the total interest over the life of the mortgage and the loan-to-value ratio. Property tax and insurance can be added to give the full monthly housing cost.
Two figures deserve more attention than the monthly payment. The first is total interest, which on a long mortgage frequently rivals the amount borrowed. The second is loan-to-value, because it determines which rates you are offered, and crossing below a threshold such as 80 percent can move you into a materially cheaper band. The overpayment field shows the other side of the same coin: regular extra payments cut the term and the interest far more than their size suggests.
LTV determines which rates you are offered, and crossing below a threshold such as 80 percent can move you into a materially cheaper band.
On a long mortgage the interest frequently rivals the amount borrowed, which the monthly payment hides.
Add them to get the real monthly housing cost rather than just the loan payment.
Regular extra payments cut the term and the interest far more than their size suggests.
Adjust the deposit and watch both the payment and the LTV band move together.
The calculator works out the loan amount and your loan-to-value ratio from these.
Enter the annual interest rate and the mortgage term in years.
Optional, but including them gives the true monthly outgoing rather than just principal and interest.
See how many years and how much interest a regular extra payment would remove.
It is the loan as a percentage of the property value. Lenders price by LTV band, so a lower ratio usually unlocks a better rate. Crossing below 80 percent is a common threshold.
A shorter term means higher monthly payments but far less total interest. A longer term is more affordable month to month but costs considerably more overall. The calculator shows both so you can weigh them.
Principal and interest by default. Add property tax and insurance to see the full housing payment, which is what lenders assess for affordability.
More than most people expect, because every overpayment reduces the balance that interest is charged on for the entire remaining term. Enter an amount to see the interest saved and the new payoff date.
